Jennie Garth: Jennifer Eve Garth was born
on April 3rd, 1972 in Urbana, Illionis, USA to John and Carolyn Garth, who both
had 3 children each from different marriages, before they had Jennie. She grew
up on a 25-acre horse ranch outside Urbana, Illinois with her 6 older siblings:
Johnny, Chuck, Lisa, Cammie, Wendy and Lynn. When Jennie was 13, she and her
family moved to Phoenix, Arizona. She took dancing lessons and did a little
modeling while living in Arizona, and she dreamed of going to college and later
start her own dance studio. At age 15, Jennie was discovered and encouraged to
pursue an acting career by a talent scout, who had seen her win a talent
competition. Therefore, she dropped out of high school during her junior year,
and she and her mom moved to Los Angeles, California so she could become an
actress. She later obtained her diploma in California. There, she started taking
acting classes and went to auditions almost every day. After living in LA about
four months, she landed the role of 'Erica McCray' on the NBC series "A Brand
New Life" (1989). Within a year, she was cast as 'Kelly Taylor' on the
long-running hit teen drama-series "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) on FOX
television. Ever since, she has starred in several movies made for TV, a number
of which she has produced and directed herself. On January 20th, 2001, she
married actor Peter Facinelli, the father of her first daughter, Luca Bella
(born June 29th, 1997), on her ranch in Santa Barbara, California. On December
6th, 2002, Jennie and Peter welcomed their second daughter, Lola Ray and their
third daughter Fiona Eve on September 30th, 2006. Jennie most recently starred
in the WB network sitcom "What I Like About You" (2002)as 'Valerie Tyler' until
